BMW Headlight Repair
BMW headlight repair saves the original unit, whether it carries xenon projectors, LED rings or Laserlight, by renewing only the part that has gone wrong. Choose your series below, or read on for the faults that cut across the whole range.

Laserlight units: a new laser module
On BMW headlights with Laserlight, a fault in the laser main beam is put right by fitting a new laser module inside your unit. The module is not repaired internally, and nothing else in the headlight has to change.
The same applies to the LED boards behind the rings and main beams: a failed board is swapped, complete with its heatsink.
X6: lenses and running lights
On the X6, two repairs come up. A cracked or crazed lens is replaced on the original housing, and a running light that has faded or gone dark is fixed at the board or light guide.
Condensation in BMW headlights
Water behind the lens of any BMW, from a 1 Series to an X5, stops only when the unit is resealed. If it has been inside long enough to dull the reflector chrome, that is re-coated while the lens is off.
An honest word about BMW housings
BMW builds its headlight bodies from slim plastic. When the lens is separated, a faint line can sometimes remain at the joint, more so on recent models.
The aim of the repair is a unit that is sealed and works as it should. If a showroom finish at the seam matters more to you than the saving, a new headlight may suit you better, and that is a fair choice.
BMW headlight questions
Is BMW Adaptive Headlight covered too?
Send a photo and the warning message. Whether the fault sits in a part that can be renewed inside the unit is answered in your quote.
Can the running light ring be changed without opening the headlight?
On some BMW units the running light board is accessible from the rear and can be swapped with the lens left sealed. On others the headlight has to be opened; your photos tell which.
